No. 14/786,069 filed Oct. 21, 2015, which was a Section 371 of International Application No. PCT/CN2014/075958, filed Apr. 22, 2014, which was published in the Chinese language on Oct. 30, 2014, under International Publication No. WO 2014/173291 A1, and the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutics. Specifically, the present invention relates to a new deuterated diamino pyrimidine compound, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising said compound.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a member of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase superfamily, ALK fusion protein, mutation and overexpression thereof are associated with various diseases. ALK was firstly discovered in anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) cell lines, the fusion protein gene formed by translocation of the 2nd and the 5th balanced chromosomal contains the 3′ end portion of the ALK gene (including intracellular domain and protein kinase domain) and the nucleolar phosphoprotein gene (Nucleophosmin, NPM gene). Over twenty types of ALK fusion proteins produced by different chromosome rearrangements have been discovered. They participate in the pathogenesis of diseases including anaplastic large cell lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, neuroblastoma, etc. EML4-ALK fusion protein and other four ALK fusion proteins play a fundamental role in the development of about 5% of non-small cell lung cancer. The downstream signaling pathways involving ALK fusion proteins involves Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK1/2 proliferation module and JAK/STAT cell survival pathway, and this intricate signal transduction network affects cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. ALK kinase inhibitor can be used to treat cancer, autoimmune diseases and the like. In August 2011, Pfizer's selective ALK and c-Met dual inhibitor crizotinib (trade name Xalkori) was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of advanced lung small cell lung cancer. Drug-resistance emerges during the clinical application of Crizotinibs, thereby stimulating the development of second-generation ALK kinase inhibitor drugs, for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer and other diseases.

Diaminopyrimidine compounds and derivatives thereof are a class of inhibitors for protein kinases such as ALK kinase. A series of diaminopyrimidine derivatives having 2,4-dual-substitutents on pyrimidine ring has been disclosed in WO2008073687 and WO2012106540. Wherein the compound LDK378 (CERITINIB), of which the chemical name is 5-chloro-N²-(2-isopropoxy-5-methyl-4-(piperidin-4-yl)phenyl)-N⁴-(2-(isopropylsulfonyl)phenyl)pyrimidine-2,4-diamine, is a selective ALK kinase inhibitor, and it can be used in the treatment of cancer and cell proliferative diseases and other related diseases. At present, the compound is in the Phase II clinical trials of treating cell proliferative diseases (such as non-small cell lung cancer).

Although the targeted inhibition of different protein kinases is beneficial for the treatment of various kinase-related diseases, the discovery of novel compounds which specifically inhibit some protein kinase and has good druggability such as oral bioavailability is still very challenging. In addition, there are some side effects and drug resistance problems for some currently available protein kinase inhibitors.

Thus, there is still a need in the art to develop compounds having kinases (e.g., ALK kinases) inhibitory activity or better pharmacodynamic/pharmacokinetics properties.

Example 17: Pharmacokinetic Evaluation in Rats

8 male Sprague-Dawley rats (7-8 weeks old, approximately 200 g body weight), were divided into two groups with four in each group. A dose of 5 mg/kg of (a) the control compound 5-chloro-N²-(2-isopropoxy-5-methyl-4-(piperidin-4-yl) phenyl)-N⁴-(2-(isopropylsulfonyl) phenyl) pyrimidine-2,4-diamine (CERITINIB) and (b) test compound: compounds prepared in example 1-16 was orally administrated for each time, and the difference in pharmacokinetics between the two groups was compared.

Rats were fed with standard feed, and given water ad libitum, and started to fast 16 hours before the test. The drug is dissolved with PEG400 and dimethylsulfoxide. Orbital blood collection was conducted at 0.083 hour, 0.25 hour, 0.5 hour, 1 hour, 2 hour, 4 hour, 6 hour, 8 hour, 12 hour and 24 hour after administration.

The rats are shortly anesthesiaed by inhalation of ether; 300 μL of orbital blood was collected into a test tube. There were 30 μL 1% heparin saline solutions in the test tube. Before use, test tubes were dried overnight at 60° C. After the blood sample was collected at the subsequent time point, rats were anesthetized with ether and euthanatized.

After the blood sample was collected, the tubes were gently inverted at least 5 times immediately to ensure adequate mixing, and placed on ice. At 4° C., blood samples were centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 5 minutes to separate plasma and red blood cells. 100 μL of plasma was pipetted into a clean plastic centrifuge tube, and the name of compounds and the time point was indicated. Plasma was stored at −80° C. before performing the analysis. The concentration of compound of the invention in plasma was determined with LC-MS/MS. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated based on the plasma concentration of compound in each animal at different time points.

It can be seen from the results that, compared with the control compound, compounds of the present invention are of better pharmacokinetics in animals (higher plasma concentrations (e.g., FIGS. 1 to 4), longer half-life and lower clearance rate), which has better pharmacodynamic and therapeutic effects.

Monoclonal antibody was diluted at 1:500 with PBS containing 4% bovine serum albumin. After incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes, the antibody solution was removed, and each well was washed with 200 μl of wash buffer (PBS containing 0.05% Tween 80) for 5 times.

100 μl/well of secondary antibody (anti-mouse IgG) was added. The secondary antibody was diluted at 1:1000 with PBS containing 4% bovine serum albumin, incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature; and the wells were washed again as said above.
